Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare has withdrawn the zoning application for its planned Middle Virginia Surgicenter in Hanover, Va., after a lengthy certificate-of-need approval process, Richmond Biz Sense reported Dec. 19.
The health system told Hanover County that it would no longer seek zoning approval to develop a medical campus that would include an ASC. According to the report, HCA still wants to construct a surgery center but is looking for alternative sites for the facility.
HCA did not comment on why it decided to pull the campus's zoning application, which also included a hospital and other facilities. The system had previously won CON approval for the center after two consecutive rejections due to pushback from rival system Cincinnati-based Bon Secours.
